RE: [DotGNU]third draft for FD press release

Serge,

what are you talking about this time? Every few months you come to the 
list, flame it, disagree with something or other, or someone or other, 
then go away for a few months without adding anything constructive. We 
are all still waiting for your grand software development scheme you 
promised last time.

I promised someone exclusivity concerning the DotGNU press release? I 
was in France until yesterday and my only involvement with DotGNU during 
that time was to make sure nothing got written by Grant, who I found out 
was writing an article on his own initiative for NewsForge, until issues 
with FSF were cleared up.

This is the reason you never like how things get done here. Free 
development isn't about closed lists, signed papers, encryption and 
notices. Its about people working together freely and openly towards a 
common goal. It is not about excluding people. It is about including 
them.
